Below is a list of the main
therapies currently on offer, with a brief description,
plus the current cost of a treatment.
Treatments are individually
worked out depending on your situation, and can
incorporate a mixture of therapies to best address
your needs. |
CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY
is a
gentle hands-on therapy, with the therapist aiming to listen
to and respond to your body's unique patterns and demands.
As such, it is your body that determines the pace and exact
nature of the work.
While
it is based on osteopathic concepts developed nearly 100
years ago, it is an extremely gentle hands-on approach working
more with the fluids, soft tissues and fascia. It can also
be a profoundly relaxing experience.
It
has been used on people of all ages, including the
elderly and newborn babies.
For more information, please refer to the website for the Craniosacral
Therapy Association of the UK.
VISCERAL MANIPULATION (VM)
facilitates
normal mobility, tone and motion of the internal organs
and their connective tissues. By applying specific
gentle pressure, the functioning of the organ being treated
is improved, as well as freeing up its related musculoskeletal
connections, its related systems, and enhancing general
metabolism. This therapy can be particularly useful for people
who have had abdominal surgery, as it can help free up adhesions
which often form after operations, or for those with digestive
complaints or recurring pain, postural distortions
and biomechanical dysfunction. It was developed by French
osteopath Jean-Pierre Barral, and more information can be
found at his website here.
HOLISTIC MASSAGE
eases
out muscular tension and other soft-tissue problems using
a combination of techniques based on Swedish massage. Oil
is applied to the skin, with variable pressure used to relax,
improve circulation, reduce stress and tension, as well as
ease out aches and pains. It can work very well in combination
with Craniosacral Therapy to release tension and enable rebalancing
within the body and tissues.
COST
ADULTS: Prices start from £25 for a half hour session, and £40 for
an hour.
It is recommended that clients book in for an hour session at the beginning to
give enough time for a full case history.
Home visits are also available, with the cost starting from £60
for one person (depending on location), with additional
clients charged £35.
Discounts are available if
booking for a course of treatments. Please ask for details.
BABIES:
Slightly shorter sessions typically work better for babies
and young children, with a session varying between half to
three-quarters of an hour, depending on how the child responds,
with each session costing £30.
It is best to allow an hour, especially for the first session
when a full case history will be taken. If you are coming
to the clinic, then it can help to bring some of your child's
favourite toys or books to play with.
For young babies, often home visits are more convenient and
comfortable for both mother and baby. Prices start from £30,
although this will depend on location and travel
time. Additional children or babies are charged at £20.
